How to choose the best duvet size?

When choosing a duvet, a series of criteria must be taken into account both for the aesthetics of your bed and to achieve a good quality of sleep. In this article we give you tips on how you can choose your sustainable duvet according to your needs.

The right size of bedding materials can bring a rewarding atmosphere to your room. The perfect bed measurements according to your weight and height, the preferred height of your mattress and even the size and materials of the duvet cover can play an important role in your well-being and rest at night.

Choose the duvet size according to your bed

In order for your duvet to fit perfectly on your bed, first measure the size of your bed and then consult the duvets that best fit. Keep in mind that the choice of duvet will also decide the size of the duvet cover you buy.

The standard dimensions for a double bed are 140 x 200 cm, for a single bed they are 90 x 190 cm. How big is yours?

Types of duvet sizes

Below we detail the most common sizes of duvets and what bed size they can fit.

Ecological duvet bed 135

For double duvets, there are the most used beds with measurements of 135 cm and 150 cm. For a 135 x 190/200 cm long bed, a duvet size of 220 x 240 cm or 220 x 220 cm is required.

Choosing the square or rectangular format will depend on whether you want the duvet to lie flat on the sides of the bed or tucked under it.

Ecological duvet bed 150

Do you have a double bed 150 x 190/200 cm long? Then we recommend that you choose the duvet size 240 x 220 cm. In this format, the duvet is a little tighter than the 135 beds. It hangs 45 cm on each side of the bed.

Ecological duvet bed 90

For children’s or single beds that measure 90 x 190 cm, it is usual to buy a 150 x 200 cm duvet. There are smaller beds depending on the age of your children, such as the size 70 x 190 cm.

The Emma duvet is perfect for single beds. In addition, it is a natural duvet with wool fibers of the highest quality.

Keep in mind that these are standard recommendations, the measurements of the quilt vary depending on your needs and the style you want to bring to your room.

If you are one of those who places the duvet and its duvet cover under the bed, you can further adjust the measurements. Another option is to let the duvet cover the entire bed, this format is more aesthetic and allows us to move freely at night.
